ninebeanrows

Right to add a bit of weight to our thoughts of the storm let us have a fun competition to see where the high gust will be for the following locations.

Belmullet
Cork Airport
Dublin Airport
Malin Head

All predictions to be made in Knots.

Data from Met.ie will be used to compile results.

My Predictions are as follows;


Belmullet 75KT
Cork Airport 67KT
Dublin Airport 62KT
Malin Head 82KT

All predictions must be in by 10pm!

for records sake, i think scoring will be as follows.

10 points for perfect prediction, 9 for 1KT off, 8 for 2KT off and so on..................

I will have a shot at this....
Malin...86 knots
Belmullet...77 knots
Dublin...46 knots
Cork... 43 knots

I believe that the strongest winds will just be off our north coast and southern areas will have strong winds with occassional gale gusts.

Coincidentally this storm is pretty much on the anniversary of the surprise storm of the 2nd January, 1976. My mother and I drove back from Cork to Kilkenny after seeing my niece who was born on that day. The journey was a nightmare of avoiding fallen and falling trees, ESB poles which had fallen with their wires snaking across the roads sparking, high winds and at times lashing rain. It was probably the most exciting drive of my life because I didn't realise how dangerous it was and my mother's nerves are still shattered from it.
